ENDORSEMENTS

"I can’t imagine reading this poetry and remaining untouched. I can’t imagine allowing this book to lie, languishing and ignored, at the back of the shelf. I can’t imagine allowing this book to pass you by."

from the foreword by Orlagh Costello, founder of Brigid's Forge.

“Sun Among Stars…is at once contemplative and deeply personal, educational and reflecting the evolution in understanding and belief that we all go through over time. For this alone it is an invaluable addition to the corpus of material on Brigid… Let the goddess or the saint or simply Brigid speak to you through the author’s words as you step into a deeper understanding…”

Morgan Daimler author of Pagan Portals: Brigid - Meeting The Celtic Goddess Of Poetry, Forge, And Healing Well

"It is a unique challenge to bridge the ancient past with the modern, and the Christian with the Pagan, but Mael Brigde does so with ease and grace. She tells the story of Brigid through remarkable poetry that is as much prayer as it is verse. This gorgeous text could be used as a guidebook for a Brigid devotee through different holidays and times of life. A must have for all lovers of Brigid."

Courtney Weber, author of Brigid: History, Mystery, and Magick of the Celtic Goddess

And speaking of books about Brigit! At long last, the sisters at Solas Bhríde are releasing an updated version of Sister Rita Minehan‘s book, Rekindling the Flame -  a Pilgrimage in the Footsteps of Brigid of Kildare.

From their newsletter:

Dear Friends, The news you've been waiting on...a revised edition of 'Rekindling the Flame' is about to be published and will be available from Solas Bhríde from mid-December. The original book written by Rita Minehan csb has been hugely popular with pilgrims as it offered them a reflective guide to accompany them on their pilgrim journey in Kildare, from St Brigid's Cathedral to St Brigid's Garden and Wayside Wells. Rita's updated edition includes a history of the developments that have occurred in Kildare Town since 1999, in particular the opening of Solas Bhríde Spirituality Centre & Hermitages on Tully Road. The revised edition will appeal to those coming on pilgrimage to Solas Bhríde and Kildare Town but also to the many who have visited and wish to reflect on that journey through the story, legend, poems and meditations the book presents. The book will be officially launched on February 26th 2023, but more on that anon!!
